It is called “Ain’t That A Shame and 11 Others”. The CD rerelease was on Curb Records from 1995.

There were 8 sides that were charted on the Hot 100 or Bubbling Under from that original Album.

Ain’t That A Shame #22
Soon (I’ll Be Home Again) #77
Candy Girl #3
Marlena #36
New Mexican Rose #36
That’s The Only Way #88
Stay #16
Long Lonely Nights #102

Three Singles from the Album were double sided hits. “Long Lonely Nights” was the B Side of “Alone”, which reached #28.

There are seven or eight charting singles on that, even though it was essentially an original LP and not a compilation. I think the fact that, as a B Side of “Ain’t That A Shame” (#22 Hot 100), it only reached #77 Hot 100, relegated it to not being released on more, if any, smaller compilations. It was played on WTRX in my hometown in Michigan because Joey Reynolds was the Consulting PD there in 1963-1964, even after he left for his big gig at WKBW 1520 Buffalo, NY around May, 1963. WKBW was heard all over the East Coast at Night, including parts of the NYC area and all of New Jersey.

I have not been able to find it on any anthologies. Please advise.

I too was honored to have been a guest in your home several times, and have seen your wonderful collection of Seasons’ memorabilia and have heard firsthand many stories of that evening.

And Gary, yes, we did have a marvelous night at the Belmont Tavern a few weeks back, where there was an entire wall of Four Seasons and Jersey Boys memories. Yes, too, Scags’ picture was the one in the center of everything. And thanks to our mentioning Scags’ name, we were able to secure a great table, whereas they wanted to put us in nosebleed territory upon our arrival.

Since we’re now approaching the Jersey Boys ten year anniversary, I have often reflected upon this great ride with “Jersey Boys” and, David, my friendship with you came at the very beginning,and from Day 1, your generosity, caring, and friendship have not changed. Gary, Susie, and Dale, the same applies to you. Thanks so much.
